The Secret Story of Nutmeg: A Psychedelic History apologises for some missing history, enters the nut, looks at the chemistry inside- methylenedioxy compounds and gets distracted by his own cousin, The Zues, not The Zeus, who relates to Andy the feelings of Ecstasy and Empathy and chooses love over the alternatives from his Ayahuasca experience. Andy gets out the Healing Journey by Claudio Naranjo- Pioneering approaches to Psychedelic Therapy and discovers myristicin and Saffrole, chemicals i...

Nutmeg - a History of altered states of consciousness, far fetched trips to other worlds. Ep Ten

2026-07-1625:21

Nutmeg leads us to dig deeper into altered states of consciousness — not just psychedelics, but the many doorways into them. All ways our normal thinking gives way to something new, where ordinary things feel unfamiliar and awe returns to the everyday. We trace this thread through Albert Hofmann's accidental discovery of LSD and the story of Bicycle Day, then further back to ergotism outbreaks. We sit with the late ethnobotanist Terence McKenna's ideas on plants, fungi, and the evolution of t...

Do we receive Empathy from our parents? The Four Virtues? From chemicals in a nut?

If the story of Nutmeg were a repeatable lesson in life, what are we learning? Andy sees links between the current strife and trade wars and the past story of nutmeg and ponders its meaning. Bandar, Banda, Muscat, chokepoints, the Strait of Hormuz, and Toponymy.

Nutmeg's Sealed Section…hints of the start of empathy in human evolution, nurture and the the four virtues...Ep seven

After six episodes chasing proof across maps, wars, and trade routes, Episode 7 breaks the contract. The history falls away—and something stranger takes its place. A voice steps in. Not to convince you, but to unsettle you. What if the story of nutmeg was never about spice… but about empathy? What if something ancient—biological, mythic, or engineered—once shaped how deeply we could feel one another? And what if we forgot? From the lost islands of Wallacea, the Hobbit people nibble on Nutmeg ...
